もう30年以上も前になるが、国連から このような美術切手が発行された。世界人権宣言35周年を記念して発行された切手である。
その昔、何でも集めるのが好きで国連切手を収集していた。その中でも、群を抜いてデザインに独創性があり秀逸だと思ったのが、この6枚のシリーズ切手である。
この切手のデザインを担当したのが、 フンデルトヴァッサー、日本名 百水さんである。
建築家とか切手収集家にとっては、著名な人物である。
Hundertwasser 1998 in Neuseeland
私は、ずっとこの方を画家、デザイナーと思っていたのだが、世界中の面白い建築をネット検索してみたところ、彼の名前を見つけたのだ。 ウイーンにある、フンデルトヴァッサー・ハウスである。
Wikipedia から引用すると、
オーストリアの人気テレビ番組「願いをかなえて」に出演した際に、彼は自分の夢を「植物と共に生きる家を作ること」と語った。
そして、家の模型を作り、人々に
「植物と共に生きてこそ人間は、
よりよい生活を送ることができる」
と訴えた。
その熱い思いに答えたのが、当時のウィーン市長レオポルト・グラーツであった。
1977年、グラーツはフンデルトヴァッサーに自然と共生する公共住宅の建設を依頼した。
しかし、フンデルトヴァッサーはイメージした建物は、従来の建築理論と相容れない常識外れのものであった。建築家とは意見が対立し、計画はいっこうに進まなかった。
ようやく賛同する建築家が現れた6年後の1983年に建設が始まった。1986年にフンデルトヴァッサー・ハウスが完成した。
フリーデンスライヒ・レーゲンターク・ドゥンケルブント・フンデルトヴァッサー(Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser、1928年12月15日 - 2000年2月19日)
オーストリアの芸術家、画家、建築家。本名はフリードリヒ・シュトーヴァッサー(Friedrich Stowasser)。
簡単に彼の略歴を記す。
1928年にアーリア系オーストリア人の父と、ユダヤ系チェコ人の母を持ち、ウイーンで生まれる。
10歳のときナチス・ドイツがオーストリアを併合、支配下に置かれた。父は既に死亡しており、母はユダヤ系であったため親子はユダヤ人街へ追いやられ、その地下室で暮らし始めた。
世界各地を放浪する旅の中で、強烈な個性ある画才を発揮し、世界巡回展を5大陸、36都市で開催し好評を博す。
また、環境保護を訴え、世界各地で講演し、市営集合住宅、ごみ焼却工場等の環境保護建築物をウイーンで設計し、世界的な評判となった。カラフルなデザインと、自然との調和を保つため、屋根・テラス・窓への積極的な植栽に特徴がある。
アメリカ、ヨーロッパ等世界各地の環境保護建築プロジェクトを積極的に主宰し、晩年はニュージーランドに定住していた。
ウィーン美術アカデミーで学んだ彼は1981年から母校の教授をつとめた。
1981年にはオーストリア国家大賞を受賞する。
2002年に、晩年をすごしたニュージーランドへ向かう客船上で死去した。
日本語のページでは、簡単に来歴が書かれているが、建築デザイナーとしての側面に重きが置かれている。 その部分を引用する。
新しい建物はみな角ばっていて、灰色。無機質で画一的。それは人を閉じ込める刑務所のように見えた。そうした建築に違和感を覚えた彼は「血を流す建物」(1952年)で四角い高層建築の壁が赤く傷つき血を流しているような独特の建物を造り、創作活動を始める。
そしてある時、彼の作品に渦巻きが登場する。「円に流れる血 私は自転車を持っている」(1953年)ではどこまでも果てしなく続く曲線。一方で断固拒否したのは定規で引いたような直線であった。
「自然の中に唯一存在しないものが直線である。社会や文化が存在しないこの直線に基づいているとすれば、やがてすべては崩壊するだろう」
彼にとって無機質な直線に比べ、渦巻きは植物のように成長する命の象徴であった。
自然を愛した彼は、建築でも自然への回帰を唱え、曲線を多用した独自の様式を編み出した。
直線を嫌い曲線を愛した作家であった。
フンデルトヴァッサーの公式ホームページがあるので、そこから彼のより詳しい経歴を引用する。なにしろ長いし、面倒なので翻訳はしない。 若き日のフンデルトヴァッサーの活動が良く分かる。
オーストリア郵政の現代アートシリーズでも、彼の絵画作品が取り上げられている。オーストリアに客員研究員として短期留学したとき、オーストリアの記念切手を沢山購入したのだが、その中に含まれていた。
うずまきの木である。またセネガルの切手にも描かれている。
彼の活動は多岐に渡り、飛行機や船のペインティングも手掛けている。
彼と日本との関わりは深い。 下の経歴にもあるが、1961年に日本人の池和田侑子と結婚している。
侑子さんの婚礼衣裳は、ベトナム風というか沖縄風というか日本風というか、まあ東洋的であり独創的なものです。 1966年に離婚したのだが、
谷川晃一「絵のある生活 デッサン・ノート」には、つぎのように書かれている。
渦巻きの絵画で知られるフンデルトワッサーは貧乏時代、絵の具もキャンバスも買えなかったので、友人の画家たちから使い古したキャンバスをもらい、その上に紙を貼って絵を描いたという。絵の具も友人たちが使い捨てた油絵の具の空になったチューブをカミソリで開いて、絵の具のカスを集め、細かな粉末になるまで砕き、卵の白身で溶いて、自家製のテンペラ絵の具を作り、絵を描いた。
「貧乏暮らしが彼の画風をつくったのよ」と、かつてフンデルトワッサーの奥さんだった池和田侑子さんが話してくれた。実際、普通の油絵の具で渦巻きを描いても、初期のフンデルトワッサーの絵画がもつ独特の透明感やどこか異国風のマチエールは出せなかったと思う
